DVD Reviews of Dancing With the Stars - Cardio Dance

DVD Review: Workout review
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this cardio dvd and it's a lot of fun!! I love the dancers especially Maks, so I enjoy it very much. Gets your heart pumping!!

DVD Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars

I have Brazilian Dance Workout with Vanessa Isaac, and was having SO much fun dancing, that I thought I would try DWtS to learn some different moves. How disappointing! It doesn't raise your heart rate, and the dancers don't actually show you how to do the moves at all. As I do have some dance experience, I was able to reasonably follow them, but still never felt quite like I was doing the moves just right. The music was less than inspiring, and Ashley is just WAY too perky first thing in the morning when I like to workout.

DVD Review: Difficult but Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars

After starting an exercise routine about 3 months ago, I have become bored with the only 3 dvds I own, all biggest loser dvds. I was looking for something fun, but after all the bad reviews for this one, I didn't want to waste the money. My local library has an inter-library loaning system, so I requested it. Maksim's pasa-doble is the easiest because it is "low intensity" cardio (and I didn't feel much at all). Ashly does the "medium intensity" cha-cha and Kym does the "medium intensity" samba. Then all three dancers do the "high intensity" jive. Finally they all do a freestyle dance referred to as the "challenge". I have two left feet and have no rhythm. Add that to the fact that I am just over 300 lbs. I did the low intensity pasa, the medium intensity cha-cha, the medium intensity samba, and the high intensity jive in one session. Normally I'm ready to quit exercising after 20 minutes (10 really...lol) and here I went 40 minutes (50 if you count warm up and cool down). Did I know what was going on all the time - No! But who cares. Sometimes you catch on, other times you don't. They repeat the moves so often in the ten minutes you get the basics. I was totally lost on the jive, but you make stuff up and have fun. I was dripping sweat, my calves hurt and my abs were burning, but I was having fun. If you can't act like a lunatic dancing all around your own house, where can you? I'm buying this dvd...

DVD Review: Awesome and fun
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this video and purchased the latin cardio because of this one. It is super fun to do. It is not to difficult to follow, there were a few moves that it took me a couple of times to get. Overall I love it, a wonderful workout!

Description of Dancing With the Stars - Cardio Dance

On ABC's hit show DANCING WITH THE STARS, countless pounds are shed and bodies transform before our very eyes. Now it's your turn to dance your way to fitness with three of the show's favorite pro dancers Ashly, Kym and Maks. With this fat-blasting program you will learn four choreographed dance routines featuring some of the best moves from the show. Then shake things up with a bonus freestyle routine to test your new dance skills. Have fun and gain confidence on the dance floor while building a stronger, sexier, super-star body!(Not final packaging synopsis.)

Each era has its own defining exercise video--or in this age, DVD. Dancing With the Stars: Cardio Dance isn't going to go down as the 21st century's answer to Jane Fonda's exercise tapes, but it's not a bad way to learn a few basic steps, thanks to instructions from some of the professional dancers from the ABC hit series Dancing With the Stars. Ashly Costa (the brunette who danced up a storm with Harry Hamlin), Kym Johnson (the blonde who almost made a DWTS winner out of Joey Fatone), and Maksim Chmerkovsy (the dude who sparred with Laila Ali on and off the dance floor) make for nice eye candy as they teach viewers how to do the cha-cha, the jive, and the paso doble. Cardio Dance does a good job of showing viewers how to warm their bodies up before getting into the more aerobic dance exercises. Women will probably benefit most from Kym's instructional portion, which focuses on toning the hips and waistline. The patient Australian (who once taught Jerry Springer how to waltz) is relatively easy to follow as she teaches the Brazilian samba. This DVD isn't for the serious dancer. Its target audience is comprised of fans of the show who'd like to get in shape with Ashly, Kym, and Maks. If you already know the basics of dance, you won't have problems keeping up with their instructions. But if you have two left feet, some of the dance terms they toss around (but don't explain) will leave you scratching your head rather than hoofing it up. And while we're not expecting anyone like season-four winner Apolo Anton Ohno to make an appearance here, it would've been nice to include a segment or two with DWTS judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman. --Jae-Ha Kim
